Rosalind’s face twisted the moment she heard those words. She had come to the company because they summoned her, but the only reason she’d answered the call was because it had something to do with Sean.

She’d believed that if she met with Vincent, she could reason with him, convince him to let Sean go. That was the plan. That was the hope. But clearly, that wasn’t the case.

The man wanted something else.

“What are you thinking about?” Vincent asked, tilting his head. “You know you’re running out of time. So sit, instead of standing.”

She didn’t respond immediately, but eventually sank back down into the chair. The room spun slightly when she blinked, her heart pounding in her chest. This wasn’t what she had expected—not even close. But she could feel the trap closing in.

If she said no now… Sean would pay the price.

And if she said yes...

She clenched her jaw tightly.

Vincent’s voice dropped lower, dark and dangerous. “No one has to know. But if you walk out now, I won’t stop what’s co

Chloe stepped forward again, her voice shaking. “You can’t go with them. Ms. Springfield, please don’t—”Rosalind turned to her with a small shake of her head. “I’m not going to argue in front of them,” she said quietly. “But if I don’t go, they’ll only escalate things. I’ll handle it.”“Why do you have to go?”“I have to go with them,” she replied firmly. “And this is an opportunity to get Mr. Carlisle to let Sean go.”Chloe’s eyes widened in disbelief. “You’re going because of Sean?”Knowing exactly what that question implied, Rosalind simply waved her hand. “I’ll handle it. Now do as I say.”“Handle it?! He’s dangerous!”“That’s why I need you to stay calm and think smart,” Rosalind said, her tone firm. “If I don’t return or call in two hours… notify security, then call Mr. Rowe. He’ll know what to do.”Chloe’s voice wavered. “Ms. Springfield—”“No arguing,” Rosalind said, already turning back to the men. “Take me to him. Let’s not waste more of my time.”The leader gave a low, amu

CHAPTER 89
Sean stepped into view, dragging a dazed-looking Timothy by the collar. His boots echoed against the floor as he strode forward, expression unreadable.He slowed when he noticed Nova and Wren crouched over Abrill. They were whispering—urgent, tense. He couldn’t make out the words from a distance, but the moment his voice cut through the room, they both flinched.That made him pause.Why were they acting like that?He took another step, frowning. “What’s going on?”Wren immediately stood up, waving her hands. “Sean—wait! You can’t be in here right now—”Nova stepped in front of him. “Seriously, turn around. Now. You’re making it worse.”His brows arched. He had no idea why they were speaking to him like that. He couldn’t even think of what he had made worse. The only thing that came to mind was Abrill.Sean frowned. “What are you two hiding? What’s wrong with Abrill?” He tried to step past them, eyes narrowing. “Why is she burning up? Did the antidote fail?”“She’s fine,” Wren said quic
CHAPTER 88
The mask hit the ground with a soft clink. Sean’s eyes locked onto the face beneath it.Pale. Sweating. Gaunt.The man looked like he’d seen a ghost. Now that his mask had been pulled off, he held his breath, refusing to inhale even a wisp of the green gas curling faintly in the air.Sean released his grip. The man dropped to his knees, still refusing to breathe. His cheeks puffed out, veins bulging in his neck, as if sheer willpower could keep the formula from entering his lungs.Sean didn’t move. Arms folded, expression unreadable, he simply watched.Seconds passed. Then more.The man’s lips quivered. His eyes watered. His face turned red… then purple.Still, Sean waited.If the man was choosing to hold his breath, then fine. Sean would let him. He was curious now—how long could he actually hold it?Thirty seconds. Forty.Then—Gasp!The hacker’s body finally gave out. He collapsed to the floor, sucking in a ragged breath through clenched teeth—And froze.His eyes went wide with fear.
